Guidelines
PURPOSE
The purpose of this applicationis to provide the student an opportunity to develop a translation

science project from the perspective of nursing informatics.
COURSE OUTCOMES
This assignment provides documentation of student ability to meet the following course outcomes:

CO3: Articulate the relationships between translation science, information technology, and

evidence-based practice (PO #7).

CO4: Differentiate knowledge management issues in nursing informatics (PO #7).

POINTS
This assignment is worth a total of 250 points.

REQUIREMENTS
1. To complete this application, you will need access to the following databases: CINAHL,

MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and the Joanna Briggs Institute. You may access these databases through

the Chamberlain College of Nursing Online Library.
2. The Translation Science projectis worth 250 points and will be graded on quality of

information, use of citations, use of Standard English grammar, sentence structure, and overall

organization based on the required components as summarized in the directions and grading

criteria/rubric.
3. Create your report using Microsoft Word 2007 (a part of Microsoft Office 2007). You can

tell that the document is saved as a MS Word 2007 document because it will end in “.docx”
4. Follow the directions and grading criteria closely. Any questions about this project may be

posted under the Q&A Forum.
5. The length of the project report is to be no less than 6 and no greater than 8 pages

excluding title page and reference pages.
6. APA format is required with both a title page and reference page. Use the required

components of the review as Level 1 headings (upper and lower case, centered, boldface):
Note: Introduction – Write an introduction to a selected advanced nursing practice translation

science topic, but do not use “Introduction” as a heading in accordance with the rules put forth in

the Publication manual of the American Psychological Association (2010, p. 63).APA format is

required with both a title page and reference page. Use the required components of the review as

Level 1 headers (upper and lower case, centered):
a. Description of selected advanced nursing practice translation of evidence into practice

(both integrative and systematic review of evidence)
b. Presentation of selected advanced practice translation of evidence analysis with proposed

management (structure-process-outcomes) for information systems change
c. Conclusion

PREPARING THE PROJECT REPORT
The following are best practices for preparing this project report:
1. When introducing the selected advanced practice translation science topic, be sure to

include pertinent background information regarding the evidence (who, what, where, when, and why).
2. When describing the selected translation of evidence topic, be sure to fully identify and

address evidence using a synthesis (integrative review citing areas of agreement and disagreement

among authors) approach for the written summary and attach an evidence table (systematic review

citing leveling and grading of evidence) using the template found in Doc Sharing.
3. When presenting the selected advanced nursing practice translation of evidence analysis, be

sure to fully address proposed management (structure-process-outcomes) for information systems

change and the informatics role of the DNP-prepared nurse in evaluation and sustainability.

DIRECTIONS AND GRADING CRITERIA
Category Points % Description
Introduction to selected advanced nursing practice translation science topic 20 8

Introduces the selected advanced nursing practice translation science topicand includes pertinent

background information regarding the evidence (who, what, where, when, and why).
Description of selected advanced nursing practice translation of evidence topic 100 40

Identifies and addresses all aspects of selected evidence using a synthesis (integrative review

citing areas of agreement and disagreement among authors) approach for the written summary and

template found in Doc Sharing.
Presentation of selected advanced practice translation of evidence analysis 100 40

Addresses proposed management (structure-process-outcomes) for information systems change and the

that support assertions and relevant examples from advanced practice.
Conclusion 10 4 An effective conclusion identifies the main ideas and major

conclusions from the body of your report. Minor details are left out. Summarize the benefits of the

translation science project to advanced practice nursinginformation systems change.
